It doesn't mean I agree with 100 percent of what you say, but you speak well, you carry yourself well and you on a daily basis let America know we are more than what they show you on the 6' oclock news of us going to Jail or murdering each other. I also love the fact that you have no problem accepting you aren't NBA material but you trucly are a champion at what you do. That speaks volumes. You are one of my favorite people to listen to along with Warren Buffet, Mark Cuban, Damon John and a whole host of other folks. You may not have played professional sports but somewhere brother, you learn to compete and that's all that matters. Most of these players had an advantage being 6'7 and can run and shoot, but what the hell advantages did you have to be able to go through what you did to achieve what you have at not an old age. No matter how much hell you catch, there are many of us out here rooting for you. I hope I run into you one day so I can just say Thank You for the way you carry yourself.

    I’m changing my mind and my views about you, you explain yourself probably the best that anyone has done. I appreciate the levels of hardships you’ve gone through to get to the top. So I’m not that old that I can’t still learn some things about life itself and to do a little research on someone before you criticize them. Thank you Sir for doing what you’re doing, helping others to be better in life!!

He actually complained about getting paid millions, to play a game, at a resort that was locked down, but opened to just them! Complaining about being away from family, etc, etc. I knew someone would complain behind the scenes, and that's cool. But don't have the nerve to complain ON CAMERA about having to play a game that you get paid millions to play, at a resort. I know we all make decisions to go the routes we go. He plays ball, I completed a military career. Before complaining on camera about how tough DISNEY WORLD is, how bout you learn what it's like to be on the other side of the world, away from births, deaths, weddings, getting shelled when you're trying to talk to a loved one on spotty internet service. Getting your FOB attacked. Etc, etc. Not knowing if you're gonna make it till the morning, let alone back to the US. And you complaining bout being at Disney? Really?

      The one thing he always does is talk down on black men, he can't help himself but real quiet about them red people because he knows they can take away everything. So he does exactly what they want him to do

    PG contradicted himself “ I don’t wanna go out there if I can’t be myself” then says “ if I can play through an injury I will” but what I’d that means you can’t be yourself ? What a joke
